The Speeding Bullet Comics book club is back for 2025!

In conjunction with Pioneer Library, Dave Brown will lead a discussion of “Shazam and the Monster Society of Evil” by Jeff Smith at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16, at Speeding Bullet Comics, 614 N Porter Ave. in Norman, OK!

Here’s the description of the book:

Jeff Smith, the award-winning creator of BONE, tells the story of young orphan Billy Batson, who transforms himself into the World’s Mightiest Mortal whenever he says the magic word “Shazam!” Billy must use these extraordinary abilities to face an invasion of alien creatures as well as stop mad scientist Dr. Sivana and his Monster Society of Evil from taking over the world!

The Book Club sessions are designed for adults.
